Tebryn started to nod, then shrugged. "That's one way to put it. She kinda collected us. I'm dreading the day they make me bleach my hair so that we all match. Himmel, Sam, Blaise and Frog are all blonde."

Tebryn tipped his head to one side and looked thoughtfully up at the ceiling.

"She's certainly not a tyrant or anything. And she's fair. And she makes sure we're taken care of." He made a face, very slightly. "Somehow 'nice' isn't quite the word for it, though. She's... she's very much a matron, rather than a mother. But not in a way that's bad. I much prefer being with Vero over being with my original family. I feel like Vero would do something if anything bad happened to us."

Tebryn scratched behind his ear and looked away. "I'm an incubus. Or at least that's what my pedigree says."

He grumbled something under his breath, then added, "Something was noted wrong on my paperwork, though. Which is how I ended up with Kazari as a roommate." He jerked his head towards the lump of blanket-covered werebear on the floor.

Sarah frowned. "Seems like it. Makes me wonder how they misgendered you if they also said you're an incubus. I thought those were always male. Succubi are the female ones." She paused, and then her curiosity got the better of her. "How do you, uh... feed here?"

"I eat actual food, and it works fine for the most part." Tebryn blinked a few times. "My body is able to physically function, but it's my magic that suffers the most without feeding. And I just feel... tired. All the time."

"She can sleep through damn near anything. But it is a little awkward talking while she's asleep." He looked at Sarah and offered her a light smile. "There's no telling how long she'll be out. Usually it's just for a few hours, but I have no idea how long she was in the hallway."

Sarah nodded, folding her arms and tilting her head to one side. "Also true. Shall we, then?" She glanced toward the door. "I don't have anywhere to be for a while yet, maybe we can take a walk and come back to check on her in a bit."

Tebryn stood and adjusted the hem of his shirt. "Yes. I could actually use a snack. Kazari... isn't light." He actually chuckled under his breath as he led Sarah out of the room. "Rhythan was talking about dried fruit this morning. Think he has pineapple or raspberries?"
